SMART Watch Update
We have recently reviewed our expectations of students wearing SMART Watches to school. At the present time, these devices have been allowed as long as they have remained in school bags and kept on ‘school mode’. For varied reasons, we have made the decision to allow students to wear these, as long as they are placed on ‘school mode’.
FOR CONSULTATION - GIRLS WINTER UNIFORM CHANGE
At recent P&F meetings there has been some parent interest in changing the girls long sleeve winter shirt and tie. The proposed change:
Girls long sleeve shirt - Peter Pan collar with navy blue piping (no pocket)
when wearing trousers, girls to wear the navy blue tab tie rather than long school tie
The image below captures this change. If agreed upon, the proposed change would come into effect from Term 2, 2027, with a 12 month change over period, thereby full implementation Term 2, 2028.
For now, we ask that parents consider this change. We will provide further details early next term and invite discussion on this at our Term 4 P&F meeting on Wednesday 28 October.
Head Lice
We have been advised of a number of cases of head lice. Please check your child's hair and treat accordingly. Please click on this link from NSW Health that you may find helpful.

PB4L (Positive Behaviour for Learning)
PB4L Expectations and Reminders
Setting clear expectations for behaviour and uniform is essential to ensure all students are Respectful, Responsible, and Safe. To reinforce these standards, we are regularly re-teaching our school's expectations within individual classes and across the whole school, making sure every student is well-informed. We appreciate parents' support in promoting these high expectations with their children.
Ask your child about the weekly focus for students.
This fortnight's focus:
Think before you REACT!
Use strategies to respond respectfully when you are feeling emotional.
